This workshop will provide participants with a general overview of how supporting a students’ sensorimotor system using non-directive, physical support and the FCD’s allows students to develop new motor memories and experience higher levels of success and independence throughout the day. An overview of Facilitated Communication (FC), a method of augmentative and alternative communication used by people with limited speaking abilities and motor planning challenges will be a key focus of the workshop. Topics covered will include the history of FC, understanding the method and misconceptions about it, basic elements of the FC technique, determining who might benefit from the method and review of best practices. Examples and demonstrations of the use of FC with school-age individuals will be provided. This workshop will provide information to parents and professionals who are interested in gaining a basic understanding of how to foster higher levels of daily functioning and opening the doors to self-expression.
